In the Architectural Preservation program at Temple, students choose a final project that requires extensive research, documentation, writing, and knowledge of proper preservation techniques. In the past, students have done a wide range of projects that cover all different areas of thinking as a preservationist. Some examples include examining structures within the Philadelphia area for potentional adaptive re-use, writing nominations to be added to the Philadelphia or National Register of Historic Places, and even documentation of buildings to be added to historical databases.
